Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Gonzales, CA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Gonzales that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
