Maxwell, California - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first 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 typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person 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 supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
