Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Albans, NY.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near St. Albans that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client'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 produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
