Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - East Palo Alto, CA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near East Palo Alto that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
