Iowa Drug and Alcohol Detox Center

Detoxing is the First Step to Addiction Recovery

Often when addressing addiction to alcohol, heroin, or prescription drugs, the first problem is dealing with the likelihood of withdrawal.  During detoxification, one’s mind and spirit must not only deal with the absence of drugs or alcohol, but also with the physical, neurochemical, and bodily dysfunction.

Detox at home can be fatal – Don’t risk it!

Alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids have the highest risk of withdrawal problems leading to recurrent use and failure in following through with treatment of the primary problem, substance use. Although the symptoms can be similar, the risk for withdrawal is intensified when combinations of these agents are used. Alcohol and sedative-hypnotics (benzodiazepines and others) can result in delirium tremens (more commonly referred to as “DTs”) with a risk of death.
