Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sagamore, MA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Sagamore that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful 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 with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

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

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