Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lakehead, CA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Lakehead that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
