Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for persons 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, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible.
