Mica, Washington - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first 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 usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary 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 detox facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any complications are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
