Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Martinsburg, IA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Martinsburg that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
