Dobson, NC. - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting 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 kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
