Waite, ME. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will 1st go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually 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 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 detox 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 rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
