Detoxification - Stillman Valley, Illinois

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
