Detoxification - Berkeley Lake, Georgia

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person 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 rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
