Mc Neil - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will 1st go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
