Roxton - Detoxification

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 procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification 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 treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
