Worthington - 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 usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
