Puunene - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox 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 treatment facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
