Holliston - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed 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 adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required 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 detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any complications are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
