Detox
What is detox?
Detox is the removal of toxic substances from a living creature. The process involves physiological and medicinal aspects. The point of detox is to return a person back to homeostasis or “stability.” During detox, withdrawals are very common. Detox requires abstinence from the substance that was being used and may require outside medicine and treatment in order to ease through the process.

Why choose a medically supervised detox?
