Alachua, Florida - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy 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 treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
