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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Kernville that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
