Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Somers, NY.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Somers that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

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

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
