Detoxification - Eaton

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first 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 often uncomfortable and may hold 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 correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
