Kenton Vale, KY. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically 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 required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The 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 rehab facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
