Point Lookout - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry 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 rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification 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 treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
