Detoxification - Godley

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth 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 detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
