Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pena Blanca, NM.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Pena Blanca that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
