When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Palm Springs that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might 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 result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
