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

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Dennysville that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
