Rehabilitation Centers in New York In New York City, we make the detox process effective for you.
When people have suffered for years because of drug or alcohol abuse, it’s all too common for the addictive substances to increase and gather inside the body and their tolerance to drugs and alcohol can increase to dangerous and unimaginable levels. This can harm the body along with the brain, and make recovery even more challenging. The process of detoxification (usually known as detox) gets rid of drugs that have accumulated and cleanses them from the body. Many times, people confuse detox with drug or alcohol rehab, but detox by itself is not a treatment program. Only if followed by a treatment program will detoxification to be an efficient process.
There are two kinds of detox available: social detoxification and medically supervised withdrawal. Social detoxification is utilized with addicts who aren’t chronic substance abusers, and involves behavioral modeling, support from friends and family, and a partially-supervised atmosphere so as to assist addicts cope with their withdrawal. Medically supervised withdrawal is best used with addicts who are chronic substance abusers, and incorporates round the clock clinical supervision in an inpatient environment. This kind of detox is typically assisted by prescribed medicines that help decrease the discomfort of withdrawal.
We will create a personalized detox plan for you.
Our patients must undergo a medically assisted withdrawal period. This is where all toxic chemicals from alcohol and drugs contain will be rid from the body safely. Consequently, we offer a medically assisted withdrawal period, other known as detoxification. During the time withdrawal symptoms are present, the first step taken in the detox process would be easing the withdrawal symptoms, helping the recovering individual become as comfortable as possible. We create a personalized detoxification plan to suit each client’s particular situation. Each recovering addict’s detoxification plan will differ depending upon the amount or type of the substance abused. We find this important because an individual withdrawing from alcohol will not have the same symptoms as an individual withdrawing from opiates. Detox employs highly individualized approaches in order to purge all substances from the body; however, there are three general stages that their clients should be aware of. The first step is analysis, where it’s decided which drugs are being abused. Many addicts suffer from addictions to several drugs, occasionally together with alcohol, and treatment strategies can vary a great deal depending which elements (and in what quantities) are found in the addict’s bloodstream. After correctly and safely assessing a client, we can start to supervise the client throughout the process of detoxifying their body from drugs. Detox severs the physical addiction to harmful substances, but it doesn’t rehabilitate the client, so we encourage our clients to go directly into a custom-designed rehab treatment program in order to support a long-lasting recovery.
Many individuals affected by drug and alcohol addiction can also suffer from co-occurring psychological disorders, which complicate the treatment process if not accurately diagnosed and correctly addressed in treatment. These disorders may include mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, anxiety disorders, hopelessness, schizophrenia, a lack of motivation or a fear of public situations and some personality disorders. These conditions affect the way you feel, behave, and interact with others, and how you perceive the world. Treatment is important because, with no clear understanding about their problem, many addicts find themselves in familiar scenarios that trigger their drug abuse. Relapse commonly occurs when detox is used alone, and when addicts find themselves in the usual situations and places where their drug and alcohol use was heaviest. In a new setting, far from the people and places that the drug user associates with drug and alcohol use, it is easier to avoid the triggers of addictive behavior. Relapse is much more common when addicts participate only in detox, so we urge our clients to continue right into a 28-day, 60-day, or 90-day rehab programs to start drug or alcohol rehab. Detox is bolstered in rehab, where addicts take part in group and individual counseling, the twelve-step community, and engaging diversions and physical activity. Throughout rehabilitation, clients reside in gorgeous, comfortable living facilities that combine all of the advantages of inpatient living amenities with the affordability of outpatient living accommodations. Additionally, clients stay busy with educational programs created to assist them in reaching their recovery and life goals. For many people, detox is a crucial first step towards recovering from substance abuse, but it is only a first step, and isn’t meant to replace a rehabilitation program.

Taking the First Step Towards Recovery Today!
Detox is a crucial first step towards recovering from addiction, but it is only a first step, and isn’t meant to replace a treatment program. Unlike many other treatment centers, we provide support and rehabilitation programs after the detox process; we are very mindful of how easy it is to relapse after getting clean. Detox may improve bodily health but it doesn’t address any core mental causes for alcohol and drug use. People who are frightened of the pain and discomfort associated with withdrawal often feel more confident about stopping with the help of detox. By precisely assessing the substances, and levels, of substances being used, withdrawal symptoms can be less complicated to predict and decreased. In addition to educating people about their drug addiction, treatment is helping them get to the roots of their issues of drug and alcohol addiction, and reinforce their coping methods in order to prevent relapse and temptation. We use detox in tandem with rehab and other treatment methods, so that detox is a good first step. An addict’s best possibility of complete recovery is to follow up detox by getting directly into a rehab program.
