Sugar Grove - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
