Early Branch, SC. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
