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

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs from the body 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 Fort Kent that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

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