Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tahoe Vista, CA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs from their system 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 Tahoe Vista that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility 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 at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
