Melville - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately 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 ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
