Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Little Sioux, IA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Little Sioux that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

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