Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lafayette, CO.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs from their system 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 Lafayette that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals 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 wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh 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, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
