Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wytopitlock, ME.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Wytopitlock that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce 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 medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification 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 other opiate medications.
