Fairmont - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
