Sandwich, MA. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth 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 present detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
