Detoxification - North Falmouth, Massachusetts

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
