Detoxification - Fletcher, North Carolina

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
