Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Fort Fairfield, ME.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person 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 various different types of detox in or near Fort Fairfield that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary 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 drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
