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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Hotchkiss that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
