What Is Detox?

Detox is the first step in addiction treatment. It involves:

  • Removing alcohol or drugs from the body
  • Managing withdrawal symptoms
  • Stabilizing physical and mental health
  • Transitioning to rehab or outpatient care

Medical detox ensures that the process is safe, supervised, and supportive—especially when substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines are involved.
