Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Townsend, MA.

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Townsend that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually 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 complications 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
