Detoxification - Mount Sidney

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving 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 carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth 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 detox facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
