Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Evergreen Park, IL.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Evergreen Park that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use 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 lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

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

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
