Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chelsea, NY.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed 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 Chelsea that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
