Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Los Alamos, CA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Los Alamos that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
