Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cleveland, MN.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed 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 Cleveland that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
