Detoxification - Dimock

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs.
