Opiate Detox Options

There are a number of opiate detox options for those who are living with an active addiction to opiates that include heroin and prescription painkillers like morphine, codeine, Vicodin, Percocet, hydrocodone and others. Statistically speaking, those who go through opiate detox but do not follow up with opiate addiction treatment rarely succeed in abstinence for long. Most will relapse within the first year. Many will never completely recover.

The best treatment for opiate addiction is an opiate detox that is part of a holistic opiate drug rehab. The program at Seasons Recovery Center offers medical opiate detox as well as extensive opiate addiction treatment in a spa-like setting here in Malibu, California.

Opiate Detoxification Options: Natural Detox

Natural detox is perhaps the quickest opiate detox option. When you stop taking your opiate of choice-be it heroin, Percocet, Lortab, Fentanyl, oxycodone or another painkiller-for a natural detox, you don't take any medications when withdrawal symptoms begin. The idea is that, because the opiates you've been taking are toxins and the goal of detox is to flush toxins from your system, you aren't helping yourself when you take more drugs and add more toxins to be flushed out. Rather, the focus is on your medical health and comfort through other means as well as medical monitoring to ensure that you are safe and healthy throughout. During the remainder of your treatment as you undergo therapy, you can continue the detox process with organic cuisine, gentle exercise, yoga and meditation.

Opiate Addiction Detox Options: Medical Detox

When you undergo a medical detox, you stop taking your opiate of choice immediately and begin taking medication, either to "replace" the opiate in your body or to treat the resulting withdrawal symptoms. The type of medication that you take, the amount and for how long will depend upon your individual circumstances. Determined by you and your medical team at an opiate detox facility, you will have an exit program and a general idea of how long the detox will last depending upon your medication choices.

Opiate Detox Options: Which One is Right For You?

Depending upon the type of opiate you take, how much, other drugs of addiction you use regularly, and any underlying medical and psychological issues you are dealing with, the type of opiate detox that will work best for you will vary. If you are unsure, talk to your medical team during your intake appointment and be sure to leave out nothing of relevance: detail your drug history, your allergies, your daily drug regimen, and your medical and psychological concerns when asked to make sure that you are offered the best possible treatment.
