Belpre, OH. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women 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, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
