Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - South San Francisco, CA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near South San Francisco that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs 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 may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
