West Mystic - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
