Cranfills Gap - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially 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 often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
