Newtown, CT. - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 treatment facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
