Facts

  • Fevers associated with drug withdrawal must be closely monitored to make sure that they are not the result of an underlying infection, which should be treated immediately.
  • Methamphetamine overdose can result in hypothermia and convulsions, which if not treated may be life threatening.
  • The rate of alcohol absorption in the body depends on the concentration of the alcohol being consumed. For example, vodka is absorbed faster than beer, because vodka has a higher alcohol concentration.
  • Drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms may be even more dramatic when these substances have masked prolonged malnutrition, disease, chronic pain, or sleep deprivation.

Calais, ME. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
