Bellwood - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
