Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - South Barre, MA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed 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 South Barre that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help 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 result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

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

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
