Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Buffalo City, WI.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Buffalo City that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary 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 certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
