Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Shawmut, ME.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Shawmut that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
