Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Millbrae, CA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment 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 no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Millbrae that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client'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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
