Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Oak Lawn, IL.

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Oak Lawn that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
