When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Alamosa that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.
Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would 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 detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary 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 certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
