Prospect - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving 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 carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals 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, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
