Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Paducah, KY.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Paducah that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
