Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Carson, CA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Carson that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong 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 individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
