Hampton, SC. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
