As a crucial first step in their recovery from addiction, people who are dependent on alcohol or drugs frequently need to go through the detoxification (detox) process. The idea behind detox is that someone who is physically ill will find it difficult to address any underlying mental health issues. Therefore, the purpose of detox is to tackle the physical side of addiction as a first step, so that patients are prepared to address the psychological features of their addiction, as part of an intensive addiction rehab program. Detox is the process by which all traces of alcohol and drugs are removed from the body, ensuring that a person is physically stable and ready to start therapy to overcome their addiction. It is not always a part of addiction treatment but is often expected when entering rehab. Alcohol or drug addiction results in people's bodies becoming used to having these substances in their system. When these substances are gradually reduced and removed during detox, the brain will have to adjust to the sudden drop in these chemicals. This typically causes people to experience a set of unpleasant symptoms known as 'withdrawal symptoms'.
