Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lathrop, MO.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lathrop that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
