Andrews - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can offer detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
