Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jonesport, ME.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or treatment facility 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 no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Jonesport that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person'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 alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
