Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Northglenn, CO.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Northglenn that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
