Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Huntington, MA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Huntington that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
