Westport Point - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual 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 rehab facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
