Richmond - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated 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 required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
