Myra - 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. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women 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, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
