Detoxification - Southport, ME.

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular 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 detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
