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

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Hampden that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require 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 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 commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
