Detoxification - Terlingua

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 eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy 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 treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
