Detoxification

Detoxification

Detoxification is the medical process of safely removing drugs or toxins from the body.

Details

Detoxification is the process of safely discontinuing addictive substances while medically managing withdrawal symptoms.

Depending on the type of substance, withdrawal can be life-threatening, making supervision by qualified medical professionals essential.

Detoxification is only the beginning of treatment — it is not a complete recovery on its own.

After detox, ongoing treatment such as counseling, medication, and support groups is necessary.
