Dumont, NJ. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox 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 treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
