People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will 1st go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs.
