Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Greenwood Village, CO.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Greenwood Village that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications 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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
