Detoxification - Alviso

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can present detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
