Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Shirley, NY.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person 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 few different types of detox in or near Shirley that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.

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

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
