Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Garfield, MN.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Garfield that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
