When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed 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 number of different types of detox in or near Guilderland that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.
Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
