When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Schenectady that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not 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 sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.
Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
