Mayfield Heights - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. 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 men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed 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 rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any complications are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
