Detoxification - Clackamas, Oregon

Individuals 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 basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
