Richgrove, CA. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals 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, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted 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 detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
