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

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated 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 few different types of detox in or near Virden 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 medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. 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 detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
