Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox 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 performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can correctly oversee and provide medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox 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 detox facility or drug rehab facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any issues are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
