Birch River - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety 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 detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any difficulties are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
