Detoxification - Irvine, California

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
