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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Prescott that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
