Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is basically the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed.
