Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual 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 make sure that any difficulties are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
