Mendham, NJ. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual 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 rehab facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
