Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Whitten, IA.

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near Whitten that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not 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 result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
