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

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Wauconda that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. 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 detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
