Many organ systems are affected by addiction and will react to withdrawal. The term “medical detoxification” means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal.Out Patient
Outpatient treatment describes all addiction treatment that is not residential. Patients live at home while undergoing rehab.
