Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Merrimac, WI.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Merrimac that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need 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 on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
