Facts

  • Serious alcohol withdrawal can produce delirium tremens (DTs) which involves profound confusion, hallucinations, and severe autonomic nervous system over-activity.
  • The active ingredient in drinking alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol, which is considered to be a sedative and affects the brain the same way as other sedative-hypnotic drugs, like Valium and barbiturates.
  • Methamphetamine overdose can result in hypothermia and convulsions, which if not treated may be life threatening.
  • It is a common practice for methamphetamine addicted individuals to exchange sex for money or drugs, creating another risk factor for acquiring and transmitting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Gypsum, Colorado - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
