Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Stoneham, MA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed 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 few different types of detox in or near Stoneham that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

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

Medical detoxification is done 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 medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
