Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mount Prospect, IL.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Mount Prospect that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
