Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Granville, NY.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Granville that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
