Custer, KY. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab.

Detox services usually include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
