Alexander, AR. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification 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 persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
