Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Otis, CO.

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

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Otis that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
