Detoxification - Greenwood

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person 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 treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
