detox program

Substance withdrawal treatment

A detox program is a structured medical or therapeutic regimen designed to help someone withdraw from drugs, alcohol, or other addictive substances.

Programs typically involve supervised abstinence, medical monitoring, and support services: She checked into a thirty-day detox program.

The term extends loosely to wellness regimens claiming to cleanse the body of toxins through diet or fasting, though these lack medical foundation.
