Towaco - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
