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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person 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 alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Snowmass that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
