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

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Maynard that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
