Chippewa Lake - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
