Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Swampscott, MA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Swampscott that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
