Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Charlton Depot, MA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Charlton Depot that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may 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 at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
