Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Morris, NY.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Morris that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications 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 present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
