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

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Portola that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
