Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Saratoga, CA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Saratoga that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
