Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Whittington, IL.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Whittington that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme 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 detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
