Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Woodlawn, IL.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the client has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Woodlawn that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, 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 severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
