Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hood, CA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Hood that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
