Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chestnut Hill, MA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Chestnut Hill that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox 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 at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
