Danvers, IL. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual 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 offer detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
