How to Tell if You Need Medical Detox
The usage and withdrawal symptoms of each individual will determine if a medical detox is needed. With some drugs or heavy alcohol use, it is mandatory to undergo a hospital inpatient detox program. Some drugs do not require a medicated detox, but the list of the ones that do is much greater. Medical detox is recommended for most prescription medication dependencies.
Some other drugs that require medical detox are Heroin, Opioids, and Prescription drugs such as Xanax, Vicodin, Hydrocodone, and Oxycontin. If planning on detoxifying from psychiatric medications, consult your doctor before quitting cold turkey. Below we have listed common drugs that need a medical detox to ensure the safety of the individual coming off of these medications or drugs.
Withdrawal Timelines for Common Drugs and Alcohol
Withdrawal from drugs or alcohol starts as soon as the individual stops consuming the addictive substance. Different substances can have different timelines of withdrawal symptoms with many variables that can determine the extent of the withdrawal symptoms. Different variables can be the length of use, how often the usage is, and the amount of the normally consumed substance.
Alcohol: Withdrawal from alcohol can start in as little as 8 hours from the last consumed drink and peaks around 24-48 hours and can last for up to 10 days.
Heroin: Heroin withdrawal usually starts around 10-12 hours after the last dose and can last for up to a few months.
Prescription Medications: Depending on the medication withdrawal can start 1-4 days after the last dose and can last for months, and even years if not treated in a medical facility.
Prescription Opiates: Withdrawal starts 8-12 hours after the last dose and lasts up to 10 days if treated in a medical detox unit in Iowa.
Fentanyl: Fentanyl withdrawal symptoms can start in as little as 6-12 hours of the last dose with acute withdrawal symptoms at the worst between day 1 and day 3. Withdrawal can last for a week or more.

How Much Does Detox Cost?
Depending on the insurance plan there may be a few things that need to be handled in order to ensure that your detox will be covered by your insurance plan. Most of the big providers like Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, Kaiser, and others do have detox offerings for their clients and members. To ensure that you can get the most out of your insurance it is important to have a third party handle the paperwork before calling yourself. Insurance companies will offer individuals a different option that is more beneficial to their bottom line when you are in fact entitled to find the best solution for your medical needs. Costs associated with entering into a detoxification facility in Iowa can range from zero dollars for a social detoxification center up to 20,000 for a rapid opioid detox center in the state of Iowa. State and county-funded detox programs in Iowa receive state funding to offer treatment and detox for addiction to drugs or alcohol.

Rapid Detox for Opioid Addiction: Rapid detox centers in Iowa utilize anesthesia to put the individual into a deep sleep and flush out the drugs in a short period of time 2-4 hours.
Medically Assisted Detox Centers: These programs are usually in a stand-alone medical facility or in a hospital inpatient detox center.

We can help you locate treatment for addiction in your area or anywhere in the country. It is sometimes beneficial for the client to go to treatment further away from home. Getting away from temptations and friends who may still be using is often better for many people. Clients who go to rehab in another state also have a harder time leaving treatment early as well. Depending on the situation, our counselors may suggest looking for substance abuse programs that are a plane flight away.
