Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Silver City, NM.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Silver City that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

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