Detoxification
Detox is the first step of the recovery process intended to remove the additive substances from the body. When in detox the addict undergoes withdrawal symptoms that needs to be managed. This process is done under the supervision of the trained staff comprising of a physician and a psychiatrist. The individual undergoing detox is monitored for the physical and psychological symptoms.
Detoxification refers to the process of removing or neutralizing harmful substances, toxins, or waste products from the body. It is a natural process that our body undergoes to eliminate these harmful substances and maintain overall health and well-being.
While our bodies have built-in detoxification systems, such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin, some people may opt for additional measures or practices to support or enhance the detoxification process. These practices are often referred to as “detox” or “cleansing” methods.
