Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wellesley, MA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Wellesley that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

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