Detoxification - Dufur, Oregon

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab.

Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual 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 required 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 detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
