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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated 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 Hardinsburg that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
