North Amherst - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
