Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ogdensburg, NY.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Ogdensburg that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated 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, such as 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 setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
