Edwards - 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 basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
