Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Allendale, MI.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Allendale that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having 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 anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
