Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kaiser, MO.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Kaiser that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
