Jewell, Iowa - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy 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 rehab facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
