Fair Play, South Carolina - 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. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
