Thornton - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification 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 detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
