Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Augusta, MN.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near St. Augusta that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

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