Dunbar - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will 1st go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically 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 person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
