Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Philadelphia, NY.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Philadelphia that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
