Stafford - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help 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 frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible.
