Detoxification - Lexington, North Carolina

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 simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
