Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chilhowee, MO.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Chilhowee that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
