Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ashburnham, MA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Ashburnham that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
