People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the individual 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 detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can present detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
