Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pilot Knob, MO.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Pilot Knob that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
