Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Williamstown, MA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Williamstown that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health 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 professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
