Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gunnison, CO.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual 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 alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Gunnison that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person'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 first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence 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.
