Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Crouseville, ME.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Crouseville that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
