Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Raymond, ME.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Raymond that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
