Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fort Drum, NY.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated 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 a few different types of detox in or near Fort Drum that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical 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 at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

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

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
