Felton, PA. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
