People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual 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 rehab facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any difficulties are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
