Detoxification - Lincolnville, ME.

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox 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 detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
