Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically 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 detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can adequately oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services generally include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the particular person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as needed to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some sort of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
