Detoxification - Rosedale

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox 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 rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
