Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Larkspur, CA.

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Larkspur that people can pick from. Different substances produce 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 intervention. Regardless, 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 the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
