Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Fort Leavenworth, KS.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Fort Leavenworth that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
