Shasta Lake - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will 1st go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
