Theodore, AL. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often 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 getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual 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 treatment facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
