Norwood, GA. - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual 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 supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
