Colonial Beach, VA. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox 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 conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
