Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Paul, NE.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated all of 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 number of different types of detox in or near St. Paul that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs 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 severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
