Startex - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often 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 getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
