Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Fort Bragg, CA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated 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 number of different types of detox in or near Fort Bragg that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely 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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
