Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hope, ME.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Hope that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
