Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - San Luis Obispo, CA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near San Luis Obispo that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
