Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Agawam, MA.

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

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Agawam that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might 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 some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
