Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Otis, MA.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Otis that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
