At MyRehab Dual Diagnosis Addiction Centres, we use several medications to help patients detox from opioids and alcohol. This is the first step in the recovery journey, and it’s all about making sure our patients go through withdrawal safely and as comfortably as possible.
When it comes to opioids, we might use medications like methadone or buprenorphine. These help by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Another option is naltrexone, which blocks the effects of opioids and helps prevent relapse.
For alcohol dependence, medications like benzodiazepines can help ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potential complications. Other medicines might also be used to help manage sleep problems or intense cravings.
Whatever medications are part of the detox, our team at MyRehab keeps a close eye on each patient. We’re all about making sure everyone is safe and that the medications are working the way they should.
Detox meds are just one piece of the puzzle. They’re important, but they work best when combined with the full spectrum of care we offer, including therapy and support groups.
If you want to know more about these medications and our detox processes for opioid and alcohol dependence, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to explain how they work and how they can help you or your loved one take that first step toward a clean start.
