Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Homewood, CA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Homewood that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
