Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dexter, KY.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Dexter that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
