Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rolling Meadows, IL.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Rolling Meadows that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need 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 on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
