Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Boulder City, NV.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Boulder City that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client'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 result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
