Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - South Bethlehem, NY.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near South Bethlehem that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
