Medication-assisted detox uses safe, tested medications to ease and reduce withdrawal side effects.

Withdrawal symptoms can include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, depression, fast breathing, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, tremors, hallucinations, and seizures. These symptoms can be minimized while you detox from drugs or alcohol thanks to medication-assisted treatment.

The medications used depend on the substance a person is struggling with and their medical history.

Medications that can help during withdrawal include acamprosate for alcohol addiction, anticonvulsants to help with seizures, antidepressants for depression, buprenorphine for opioid addiction, naltrexone for opioid and alcohol addiction cravings and benzodiazepines for seizure risk.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines therapy and rehab with medications designed for opioid or alcohol addiction. It can be more effective than medication or rehab alone. MAT can reduce the risk of relapse and overdose, help with physical and mental health, and reduce withdrawal symptoms.

If you or a loved one struggles with substance addiction, The Recovery Village can help.

Our professional medication-assisted detox helps patients withdraw safely in a more comfortable environment that feels like home. Our patients can then immediately begin the next stage of rehab onsite, gaining the tools they need to stay sober thanks to our proven addiction treatment programs that can help them get their life back.
