Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - South Milwaukee, WI.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near South Milwaukee that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
