  • Over 60% of Americans drink alcohol, with 50% being 'regular drinkers'.

Detoxification - Fishers Island, New York

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox 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 supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
