Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cedar Crest, NM.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Cedar Crest that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards 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 detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
