Colorado
Alcohol Detox and Drug Detoxification
When an addict is ready
to make a lifelong commitment to abstinence from drugs,
Colorado detox programs can assist in making this important
first step. Family, friends, and treatment centers staff
can support the recovering addict throughout the recovery
process. Support has been shown by studies and statistics
collected from treatment centers that support from these
sources improve a recovering addicts’ chances of staying
clean. The time that an individual needs to spend in detox
and rehabilitation depends on the type of drug that was
used, how long they have been abusing, and if medical or
mental problems are evident.
Colorado also provides in some detox programs
a procedure known as rapid detox or Ultra Rapid Opiate Detox.
This type of opiate detox is performed by placed the person
under general anesthesia and is administered medication
which purges the body of all substances and residues left
by the addicted drug from the nervous system. Since the
patient is under anesthesia, they do not feel the immediate
withdrawal that takes places with this system. Pain from
withdrawal is avoided. The medications Naltrexone and Naloxone
are given which cause the withdrawal process to last only
five to six hours instead of five to six days. When the
recovering addict awakes, they will still have some withdrawal
symptoms and cravings, though nothing like before the detoxification.
During the addiction recovery, the cravings will decrease.
There are also programs in the addiction
recovery centers that provide support for alcohol detox.
The Colorado centers offer differing approaches to alcoholism
detox, so the recovering addict should research each center
carefully. A quality alcohol detox center will provide medical
support along with counseling to assist with the withdrawal
and detoxification process. When an alcoholic begins the
process the withdrawal can be very stressful. Symptoms associated
with alcohol withdrawal vary from person to person but the
symptoms can include sweating, nausea, vomiting, tremors,
and anxiety. In Colorado today there are treatment centers
that can offer medications that can minimize or possibly
rid the person of all the withdrawal symptoms.
Residents of Colorado who are addicted to
Oxycontin can find oxycontin detox available in the detox
programs. Oxycontin is a highly addictive prescription drug
that was brought onto the medical market in 1995. Almost
as soon as it was released, patients became addicted and
some crush the pills to bypass the twelve hour release function.
Oxycontin is very similar to morphine as it blocks pain
messages traveling to the brain. It also increases the dopamine
level in the brain which causes addicts to feel pleasure.
Continued abuse of the drug builds tolerance forcing the
addict to increase their intake of the drug. Overdose can
result in death from respiratory failure. Detox programs
for this type of addiction include detox programs and then
a residential program to assist in the addiction recovery.
Addiction recovery through the Colorado
detox programs and treatment centers can provide the essential
step to overcoming drug abuse and addiction. Counseling
and continued support through the programs can improve the
quality of life and decrease relapse rates.
