Cartwright, Oklahoma - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant 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 removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
