People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can properly oversee and present medical supervision for people 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 person is receiving proper rest, and providing 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 kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detoxification services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
