When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near South Portland that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications 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 produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
