Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cascade, IA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated 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 Cascade that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. 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 some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
