Langley, Washington - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process 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 required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals 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 making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
