Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Gloucester, MA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Gloucester that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your 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 individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

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