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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Worthington that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
