Detoxification - East Dorset

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide 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 properly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 provide detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
