Lamont, WA. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person 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 treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any problems are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
