Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and provide medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the person is as comfortable 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 needed to make the detoxification process as easy and safe as possible. The 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 detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any problems are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
