Kalaheo, Hawaii - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often 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 detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
