Detoxification - Hilltop, West Virginia

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as easy 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 rehab facility which can offer detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
