Detoxification - Washington, New Jersey

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person 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 person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any difficulties are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
