Detoxification - Shirley, WV.

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance 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 generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox 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 often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox 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 present detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
