Mount Ulla - 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 basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
