When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Alturas that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.
Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
