Hauppauge - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will 1st go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
