Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Presque Isle, ME.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Presque Isle that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
