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

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Shapleigh that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
