Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Springfield, CO.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Springfield that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as 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 on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

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