Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mercer, WI.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated 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 Mercer that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may 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 some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
