Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Alta, IA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Alta that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
