Massachusetts
Alcohol Detox, Addiction Rehabilitation and Drug Detoxification
Detox is used to get a person safely off
of drugs or alcohol and remove the toxins from the body.
Detoxification is not long term rehabilitation, though many
have the idea that detox is drug rehab. Detoxification is
reached when a person no longer has trouble sleeping, or
has physical pain, and can eat food regularly. Individuals
with a long history of drug use and relapse may need more
intensive detoxification treatment and may need medications
to assist in detox. A new medication just approved by the
FDA is buprenorphine also known as Sudoxone. Medications
ease the withdrawal symptoms and in some cases eliminate
pain and suffering from the withdrawal process. Rapid detox
is performed with the addict under anesthesia and the addict
never feels the withdrawal process. It may take a few hours,
but this is in comparison to cold turkey which took several
days to over a week of withdrawal. Effective detox programs
take away most if not all of the physical cravings for a
substance, whether drugs or alcohol. Addiction detox in
Massachusetts has improved due to progress in the understanding
of how drug abuse can alter the brain functions.
Many addicts assume detox is addiction recovery,
but it is only the first step. When handled without medical
care, detox can be severe enough to be crippling. Repeated
self detox tries can incapacitate an individual. Symptoms
have been shown to become stronger with repeated detox efforts
when the addict has kept returning to abuse of the substance.
Drug detox programs that are medically supervised and offer
after care solutions can lower the risk of relapse that
may result in more detox center visits. Effective detox
programs will take away nearly all of the physical cravings
for a substance, be it drugs or alcohol.
There are detox programs that probe for
the underlying cause of drug abuse and dependence. These
programs use physiology and psychiatry to help the recovering
addict on the addiction recovery program. Counseling is
available to those in detox programs for their families
as well. Some of the treatment centers offer a residential
style center for those who are enrolled in an inpatient
program. The detox programs that offer this use community
style therapies to allow the recovering addicts to share
their recovery and addiction detox and rehab success with
other patients. Other options include outpatient detox programs
and rapid detox. The success of any addiction recovery process
is reliant on the recovering addict and their determination
to meet their goals. Following through with drug rehab after
detox will help the patient reach their goals and maintain
them in the long term.
Before choosing among treatment centers
in Massachusetts, the addict or their family can find more
information by researching on the internet or by calling
treatment centers. Discreet handling of sending information
can eliminate embarrassment of the addict or their family.
Some individuals refuse to allow others to know of their
condition, so taking the step to admit that they need help
is an important step in addiction recovery.
