Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - South Glens Falls, NY.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near South Glens Falls that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
