Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Staten Island, NY.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from their system 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 Staten Island that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
