Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Olney Springs, CO.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Olney Springs that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
