Detoxification - Shady Side, MD.

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any difficulties are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
