Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mahtomedi, MN.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Mahtomedi 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 wanting 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
