Detoxification - Brookwood, Alabama

Men and women who are physically reliant 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 eradicated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The 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 provide detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
