Detoxification - Morehead

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 carry risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
