Neely - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
