When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Pittsfield that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. 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 accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
