Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lansing, IA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lansing that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

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

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
