Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fairplay, CO.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Fairplay that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 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 receiving professional detoxification 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 likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
