Thayer, IN. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the client is as relaxed 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 smooth 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 detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
