When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lakewood that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.
Some facilities 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 health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
