Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - West Linn, OR.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near West Linn that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to a robust 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 might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
