Marion - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying 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 form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
