Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hillside, IL.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Hillside that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
