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

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Newbury that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
