Staunton - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
