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

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near Chilmark that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
