Detoxification - Stanfield

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
