Waverly - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification 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 client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
