There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lakota that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities provide 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 detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
