York’s Leading Addiction Detox Program

More About Withdrawal

When you have been abusing alcohol or another drug for an extended period of time, your body starts to adjust to the presence of that substance. Then, when you then stop using it, you become susceptible to experiencing a series of uncomfortable symptoms as your body readjusts to functioning without it.

This process is known as withdrawal. Depending on the substance that you have been using, as well as the length and extent of that use, withdrawal can be extremely unpleasant. These symptoms can also increase your chance of relapsing, since using again can make withdrawal symptoms dissipate.

In order to manage withdrawal properly, and to provide the best chance of avoiding relapse, it is helpful to receive detoxification services. In a specialized detox treatment center, medical staff can monitor progress and administer medications to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms in a safe and effective manner.

Medication management services are also offered on an as-needed basis. Your need for these services will be assessed upon admission and then further reviewed throughout your time in treatment. While there are no psychiatry services available within the detox program, all medications are prescribed by a CRNP and administered by LPNs.
