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

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Whiting that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
