Russell - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
