Cunningham - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will 1st go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The 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 rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
