Detoxification - Marengo

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