Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Golden Valley, MN.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Golden Valley that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
