Detoxification - Mildred

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 basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind 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 detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
