People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will 1st go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is frequently uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary.
