Stanley - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
