Shiloh - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent 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 eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person 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 rehabilitation facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
