Black - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals 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, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy 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 rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
