Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help 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 generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
