Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Penfield, IL.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Penfield that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

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

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
