Gladstone - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively 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 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 supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
