Comfort - Detoxification

People 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 procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person 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 rehab facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
