Detoxification - Fairmont

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting 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 conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted 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 detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
