Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bowling Green, VA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Bowling Green that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with 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 clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
