Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Woods Hole, MA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Woods Hole that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred 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.
