Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cranberry Lake, NY.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Cranberry Lake that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
