Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Newton, IA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Newton that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
