Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lubec, ME.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility 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 undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Lubec that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having 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 expected that there will 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
