Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - West Minot, ME.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near West Minot that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
