Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Old Westbury, NY.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed 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 various different types of detox in or near Old Westbury that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
