Cairnbrook - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold 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 appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
