Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Russell, MA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Russell that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
