What is Opiate Detox?
Opiate detox focuses on providing those who are addicted to opiate based drugs like heroin or prescription painkillers with a safe and effective detox with a minimum of discomfort. Medication to treat the symptoms of detox—opiate withdrawal symptoms—or as a maintenance measure to keep withdrawal symptoms at bay may be utilized so that you have a more comfortable experience. Opiate detox is a precursor to opiate addiction treatment and should not be considered a full and complete treatment unto itself.
