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

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Pomona that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, 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 some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications 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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient 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 some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
