Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lake City, CO.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Lake City that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
