Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Charlestown, MA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual 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 alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Charlestown that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
