Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Winthrop, MA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Winthrop that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome 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 necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
