Detoxification - Rebecca, Georgia

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally 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 receiving 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 detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
