Jewett - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed 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 treatment facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification 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 rehab facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
