Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Valley Springs, CA.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Valley Springs that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone 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 preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
