Detoxification, which literally translates as "getting rid of toxins," is the process by which an alcoholic's body returns to a normal level of wellbeing after becoming dependent on alcohol. Therefore, detoxification is the first step in treating alcohol dependence; other treatments are required to address underlying addiction. For drug addicts, detoxification entails doing the same things, with the exception of management and presentation.Detoxification at Prapanjam Foundation is done in a separate section of the facility under the direction of a team consisting of a psychiatrist, doctor, and counselor.
