What Is Detox? Many addicted people must undergo a detoxification process (detox) before they embark on a treatment plan. Detox is the process of getting the alcohol or other drugs out of the addicted person's system and getting him or her physically stable. This procedure is best conducted under the watchful eye of an healthcare giver (medical detox), because it can be painful and dangerous.
Medical detox is the first step towards a new life in recovery, but it is not treatment in itself. Addiction is a disease, and in order to maximize your recovery, itâs important to continue with a full treatment program designed to help you recover from addiction and live life clean and sober.
