Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sangerville, ME.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Sangerville that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
