Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - El Dorado, CA.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near El Dorado that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
