Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lake George, CO.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Lake George that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
