When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Berkeley 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 may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not 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 commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
