Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Thorpe, WV.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Thorpe that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate 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 preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
