Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Brooklyn, CT.

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Brooklyn that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone 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 individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
