Detoxification - Buckhead, Georgia

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. 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 often include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
