Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Portola Valley, CA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Portola Valley that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
