Medical detoxification is a process that helps an individual stop taking addictive substances and manage withdrawal symptoms. In the past, detoxification was administered through inpatient or residential programs. More recently, there are shorter outpatient programs available due to advances in addiction treatments. The most common substance for medical detox is alcohol

•  Reduced risk of relapse 

•  Clear increase in quality of life 

•  An opportunity to reverse the effects of addiction

•  Decreased drug cravings

•  Less likelihood for heart attack or stroke
