Moretown, Vermont - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification 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 individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
