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

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center 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 various different types of detox in or near Pella that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual 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 drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
