Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Yarmouth, ME.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Yarmouth that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need 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 with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
