What is Medical Drug Detox?
The process of detoxing from addictive substances with medical assistance, known as Medical Drug Detox, is a service offered at many drug and alcohol facilities that can greatly reduce the discomfort experienced during the withdrawal process by those attempting to recover from substance abuse.
In most cases during medical detox, the patient stays on-site at a treatment facility and is administered medications by a trained medical professional. These professionals and other qualified caregivers also maintain 24 hour observation of patients to monitor their condition and ensure a maximum level of safety and comfort through the detox process.
