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

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near North Dartmouth that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe 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 the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
