Detoxification - Ehrenberg

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated 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 required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
