Detoxification - Wood Heights

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
