When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Iowa City that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.
Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
