Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Oak Park Heights, MN.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Oak Park Heights that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may 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 prescription opioid drugs.
