Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - North Amherst, MA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near North Amherst that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use 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 lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
