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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Stanford that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring 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 at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
