Progreso - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently 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 offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
