Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Stephen, MN.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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. Stephen that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility 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 detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
