Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Xavier, MT.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near St. Xavier that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision 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 at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
