Detoxification - Stanaford

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox 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 men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 treatment facility which can offer detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
