Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bridgewater, IA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Bridgewater that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
