Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Thiensville, WI.

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

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Thiensville that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in 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 natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
