Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Kellogg, MN.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Kellogg that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications 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 may 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 some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
