Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - San Dimas, CA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near San Dimas that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
