Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Umpqua, OR.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Umpqua that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
