Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dover Foxcroft, ME.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Dover Foxcroft that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
