Detoxification - La Center

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular 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 detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
