Manning - Detoxification

Individuals 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 procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy 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 offer detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
