Detoxification - Vienna, Virginia

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the individual is as relaxed 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 needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can present detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any complications are fixed as quickly and safely as possible.
