Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Kewaunee, WI.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Kewaunee that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as 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 on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
