Richton, MS. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is getting 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 sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
