Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Calais, ME.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Calais that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
