Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Harvard, MA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Harvard that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

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