Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - South Attleboro, MA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol 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 South Attleboro that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not 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 sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
