What is detoxification, or "detox"?

MASACA : FAQ Page
Detoxification is the process of allowing the body to rid itself of a drug while managing the symptoms of withdrawal. It is often the first step in drug treatment and should be followed by treatment with a behavior-based therapy and/or a medication, if appropriate. Detox alone, with no follow up, is not treatment and often is followed by relapse.
