Henry - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving 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 conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people 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 particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
