Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Burlington, KY.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Burlington that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
