When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Merced that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.
Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
