Faith, NC. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
