Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dix, IL.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated 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 various different types of detox in or near Dix that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. 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 health 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 detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
