Detoxification - Kensington

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable 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 smooth 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 detox facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
