Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Knoxville, IL.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Knoxville that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications 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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
