Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Garden City, NY.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Garden City that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces 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 strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
