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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Lewis that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
