Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mc Kee, KY.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Mc Kee that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not 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 at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 present severe 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 natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
