Detoxification - Tekonsha

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth 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 detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
