Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Denmark, ME.

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

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Denmark that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
