Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - North Carver, MA.

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near North Carver that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision 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 on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe 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 natural detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
