Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Exira, IA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of 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 Exira that people can select 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. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
