Hurstbourne - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox 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 offer detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
