Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - East Hazel Crest, IL.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person 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 alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near East Hazel Crest that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
