Wickliffe, Kentucky - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification 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 rehab facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
