Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Portage, ME.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Portage that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
