Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Charleston, IL.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Charleston that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

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

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
