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

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Mayfield that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
