Detoxification - Whitefield

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will 1st go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required.
