Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Spokane Valley, WA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Spokane Valley that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

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