Vienna, Maryland - Detoxification

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. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
