Union, IA. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs.
