Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Athens, IL.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed 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 few different types of detox in or near Athens that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
