Detoxification - Stormville

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
