When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Ashland that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.
Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
