Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lick Creek, KY.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Lick Creek that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will 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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
