Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Greenwood, WI.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Greenwood that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home 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 detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
