Chattahoochee Hills, GA. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox 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 men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing 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 form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
