Redwood Estates - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure 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 offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the client 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 wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
