Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - McIntire, IA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near McIntire that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. 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 alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
