Navarro, California - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
