Detoxification - Unionville, Iowa

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox 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 rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
