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

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Middlefield that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help 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 risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person'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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

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