Bozman, MD. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women 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 person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
