Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Concord, KY.

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

There are a number of different types of detox in or near New Concord that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal 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 at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical 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 getting supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
