Detoxification - Cedar Brook

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
