Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Washburn, ME.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Washburn that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use 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 decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
