Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Long Beach, CA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Long Beach that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
