Norwood - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox 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 rehab facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
