When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near San Mateo that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from 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. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
