When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual 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 few different types of detox in or near Santa Barbara that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. 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 people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
