Greendale - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons 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, offering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
