Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the initial step in getting off drugs. It allows an individual to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are diverse types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A typical mistake that a lot of addicts make is to believe that detox is sufficient to kick their habit.

It is usually recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to discover the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
