Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Still River, MA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Still River that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might 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 steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
