Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lowell, WI.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Lowell that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards 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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
