Detoxification - Putnam Hall

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
