When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Brunswick that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.
Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
