Jamesville, VA. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure 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 provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can present detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
