Detoxification - St. Thomas

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving 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 carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort 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 detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
