Detoxification - Etowah

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
