Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Brentwood, NY.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near West Brentwood that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications 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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate 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 prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
