Detoxification - White Marsh

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification 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 treatment facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
