Parsons - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification 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 rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
