Tower - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client 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 necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
