Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Sierra Madre, CA.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Sierra Madre that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
