Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Strathcona, MN.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Strathcona that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might 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 harsh 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, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
