Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Corinth, ME.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Corinth that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from 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. Medical detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
