About Ramsey County Detox Center
Ramsey County Detox Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, offers withdrawal management or medical detox for adults dealing with severe substance use disorders. They also offer assessment, substance use intervention and referral to aftercare services. The latter may include community providers that offer inpatient rehabilitation, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care.
Medical detox is the initial phase of recovery from substance misuse. It isn’t a full treatment but a crucial first step that prepares you for ongoing therapy and recovery support. It can especially be helpful if you’re struggling with alcohol, benzo or opioid dependency. Withdrawal from these substances can be intense or even dangerous. Their personalized detox addresses your unique medical and cultural needs including translation services and dietary needs. The procedure takes place in their highly structured and therapeutic setting after intake assessment.
You’ll receive 24/7 medical supervision by healthcare professionals during detox. These experts will monitor your vital signs and provide therapeutic support as necessary. They also administer medication to ease discomfort and prevent complications. These meds are adjusted as your needs change. The goal is to ensure your detox experience is as comfy and painless as possible.
The detox procedure may last a few days to a week depending on the specific substance or your unique needs. They encourage you to remain in care for as long as necessary until you’re stabilized. That way you can enter recommended rehabilitation programs for ongoing recovery in good health.
Their intervention program provides timely support to help you recognize and address addictive behavior before escalation. They aim to break the cycle of substance misuse by raising awareness of its effects and encouraging you to seek help. They may involve family members or close friends to create a united front and motivate you toward treatment. The program may also involve education on coping skills, resources and recovery options to help you build a foundation for making healthier choices.
You can pay for these services via direct access financial assistance. They won’t deny you services if you’re unable to pay.
