Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fort Mitchell, VA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Fort Mitchell that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
