Sunderland, MA. - Detoxification

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