The word detox is from the word detoxify or, detoxification, but it has been used in so many different ways by so many different people that it now means almost everything and nothing at the same time. So let’s go back to the origins and look at detoxification.

According to Wikipedia, “Detoxification, or detox for short is the removal of toxic substances from the body.”

Basically, it is a treatment program designed to cleanse the body of intoxicating or addictive substances as a first step in helping someone beat their dependence or addiction to drugs including alcohol.

One of the biggest reasons why without detox help people often fail to maintain sobriety is they are carrying the reminders of their drug addiction around with them, RIGHT IN THEIR OWN BODIES!
