Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wenham, MA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Wenham that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

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

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
