Portland, AR. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry 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 adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
