Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Livermore Falls, ME.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Livermore Falls that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
