Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer 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 present medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required 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 type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
