Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Swansea, MA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Swansea that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
