Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Carlsbad, NM.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Carlsbad that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health 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 getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely 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 alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
