Norridge - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox 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 individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth 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 present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
