Mount Airy - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification 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 performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
