Detoxification - Wittmann

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process 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. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
