When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Spokane that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
