Rayville - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
