Facts

  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Opiate injection caused the users to experience a more effective and timely high, which produces an intense feeling of pleasure followed by a sense of well-being and a calm drowsiness.
  • Treating drug addicted individuals in a drug rehab program is far less expensive than its alternatives, such as incarcerating these individuals.
  • Individuals who have experienced OxyContin withdrawal compare the process to the intensity of heroin withdrawal.

Detoxification - Waterloo

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
