Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Eldridge, MO.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs 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 Eldridge that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely 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 with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
