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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lakewood that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need 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 at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary 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 individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
