Monroeton - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification 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 rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
