Millstone, Kentucky - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
