Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed 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 variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
