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

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Rockbridge that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. 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 in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
