Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hartland, ME.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Hartland that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
