Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Troy, ME.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Troy that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person'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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may 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 some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
