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

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Popejoy that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
