Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Sebastopol, CA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Sebastopol that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
