Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Charles, IA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility 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 few different types of detox in or near St. Charles that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
