Duxbury - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eradicated 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 required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
