Detoxification - Humboldt

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
