Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Inwood, NY.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs 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 Inwood that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
