Detoxification - Panther Burn, MS.

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance 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 generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer 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 adequately oversee and present medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
