Ambler - 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. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person 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 supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
