Detoxification - Toms Brook, Virginia

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 eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
