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

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs from the body 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 Owaneco that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
