When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs from the body 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 Waterloo that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may 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 at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.
Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
