Oak Bluffs - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
