When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Albany that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.
Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.
Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
