Charlotte - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification 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 hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
