Detoxification - Hazelwood

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
