Smithfield - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold 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 detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary 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 detoxification 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 swiftly and safely as possible.
