Detoxification - Metamora

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help 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 generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
