Myrtle, MS. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual 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 supply detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
