Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Irvine, KY.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Irvine that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
