What does the program involve?
- Detoxification: Detoxification (detox) is the process of a person's body being cleansed of drugs or alcohol they have taken. When someone quits using drugs or alcohol, detox is used to appropriately treat withdrawal symptoms. Detox is a personal experience for each person. The type of substance used and the length of time it was used have an impact on the detox process. The process involves the evaluation of the individual, their physical fitness, and their symptoms. The next step is to stabilize the individual and their health before beginning detoxification.
