Pocahontas - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox 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 rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
