Epps, Louisiana - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification 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 rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
