South Tucson, AZ. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before getting 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 performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary.
