Detoxification - Castle

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual 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 required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any complications are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
