Detoxification - Okeana

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed 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 rehab facility which can correctly oversee and supply 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, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
