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. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
