Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pierce, CO.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Pierce that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable 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 opioid drugs.
