Hi, I have a question to ask about medical detoxification. What kind of process is that? Can it be done at home or it requires residential setting?

Hi, I also didn’t know anything about this before my daughter started her addiction treatment. Medical Detoxification can be done both in an inpatient and outpatient setting. It is a process during which individuals are gradually withdrawn from addicting drugs. This process requires constant doctor’s attention. It is very tricky to clean the body from drugs. Actually, it is designed to deal with symptoms occurring by stopping drug use. Detox is done for opiates, nicotine, benzodiazepines, alcohol, barbiturates, and other sedatives.
