Pollock, LA. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving 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 hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy 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 treatment facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
