Leander, TX. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
