Cottonwood - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
