Detoxification in many centers will be medically administered with prescription medications that can help remove or lessen the effects of opiate withdrawal, while others may provide an a non-medical approach without the use of medications. Drug free detoxification can be made more comfortable by using various holistic withdrawal methods and it could possibly be a good choice for people who would prefer not to take the medication assisted route during and after detox, as is the case with a buprenorphine or methadone assisted type of treatment. After detoxification, opioid treatment programs that offer evidenced based therapy practices such a behavioral and cognitive counseling therapies produce the lowest rates of relapse especially when the client stays in a long term inpatient setting for a minimum of 90 days.
