Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Calhan, CO.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the client has fully removed all of 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 number of different types of detox in or near Calhan that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
