Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jewell Junction, IA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Jewell Junction that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
