Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Thompson Ridge, NY.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Thompson Ridge that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
