Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Chamberlain, ME.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Chamberlain that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
