Lugoff, SC. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can present detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
