Yreka, CA. - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant 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 eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any complications are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
