Lansford, Pennsylvania - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant 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 typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed 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 treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
