When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Santa Cruz that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.
Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
