Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Martelle, IA.

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

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Martelle that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health 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 supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
