New Holland, IL. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
