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

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab center 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 no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Portland that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
