Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lincolnville Center, ME.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lincolnville Center that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
