Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detoxification 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 detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
