Detoxification - Summit, MS.

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. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and providing 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 form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification 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 difficulties are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
