Detoxification - Leavenworth, Kansas

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
