Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - El Cerrito, CA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near El Cerrito that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification 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 might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
