Detoxification - Holbrook

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for people 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, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
