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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Hyannis that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. 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 subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
