Individuals 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 process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed 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 rehab facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for persons 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 making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
