Gambrills, MD. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
