Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - North Oxford, MA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near North Oxford that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. 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 alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
