Portia, AR. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
