Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Live Oak, CA.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Live Oak that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person'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 present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
