Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dewar, IA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Dewar that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
