Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Thornton, IA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Thornton that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person'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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
