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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Kewanee that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
