Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Arlington, IL.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Arlington that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision 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 on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
