Nauvoo - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying 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 person in detox 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 present detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
