Cuba, AL. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure 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 necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy 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 detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can present detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
