Port Hueneme, CA. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
