Oakley, KS. - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
