North Lawrence - Detoxification

People 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 basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
