Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sacramento, NM.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Sacramento that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
