Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hampden, ME.

When an individual 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 client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Hampden that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
