Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lake City, IA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs 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 Lake City that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
