Benedicta, ME. - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
