Lehman, PA. - Detoxification

Men and women 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 eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
