Cantonment, FL. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person 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 treatment facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
