Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Springfield, IL.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Springfield that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
