When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Oakland that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.
Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is suffering from 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 develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
