Lauderdale Lakes - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant 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 carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
