Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - East Alton, IL.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near East Alton that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
