Detoxification - Audubon, Iowa

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual 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 type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
