People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual is as relaxed 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 wanted to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detox 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 treatment facility which can provide detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
