As part of the treatment process, most conventional treatment centers will start the rehab process with detox. Detox also aids in handling withdrawal symptoms that patients face. Medically managed detox at an accredited treatment facility is preferred over self detox, as the recovering addict can receive medical assistance if there are any health issues with withdrawals. Once the detox process is completed, and the drugs are flushed from the client’s body and mind, the treatment process may begin.

Detox also begins the process of undoing the damage to the brain that was rewired to encourage alcohol abuse.
