Eaton - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially 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 carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth 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 rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
