Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Winthrop, ME.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Winthrop that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
