Lake Katrine, NY. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
