Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bernalillo, NM.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed 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 various different types of detox in or near Bernalillo that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
