When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are various different types of detox in or near Altadena that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
