Detoxification - David, Kentucky

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
