Randolph - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated 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. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
