Detoxification - Richwood, WV.

People 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 basically the process of the drug being eliminated 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. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically 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 getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The 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 present detoxification services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any problems are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
