Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Edgecomb, ME.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the individual 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 no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Edgecomb that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days 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.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
