Detoxification - Westport, Connecticut

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
