Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Paul Park, MN.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of 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 St. Paul Park that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
