Norwood - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain 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 person 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 rehab facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
