People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can effectively oversee and present medical supervision for people 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 providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any issues are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
