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

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Gateway that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, 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 severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present 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 medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
