Detoxification - Eagle Creek

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox 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 carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
