Logan - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the person 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 providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy 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 detox facility or drug rehab facility which can present detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
