Lee, ME. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
