Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Whitefield, ME.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Whitefield that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate 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 facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
