Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Shirley, MA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Shirley that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
