Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Watkins Glen, NY.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Watkins Glen that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities 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 health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
