Detoxification - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women 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, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification 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 present detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
