Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Yorktown Heights, NY.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs from their system 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 Yorktown Heights that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
