Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Manitou Springs, CO.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Manitou Springs that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. 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 detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
