Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Harpers Ferry, IA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs 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 Harpers Ferry that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
