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

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Windsor that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision 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 on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
