When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Lewiston that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility 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 commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
