Detoxification - Wanatah

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for persons 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, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The 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 rehab facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
