When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Atascadero that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly 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 health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
