Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular 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 offer detox services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
