How Detoxification Works
Detoxification is the process of removing harmful substances accumulated from alcohol, drugs, or long-term chemical exposure.
Detox primarily involves:
- Liver – filters toxins and metabolizes substances
- Kidneys – remove waste through urine
- Lungs – release toxins through respiration
- Skin – eliminates impurities through sweat
- Digestive System – eliminates waste and supports absorption
When addiction affects these systems, the body struggles to remove toxins naturally. Medical detox helps restore these processes safely and gradually.
