Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Whitman, MA.

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Whitman that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
