Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - South Amana, IA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near South Amana that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
