Detoxification (detox) is the process of clearing a substance from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms. Medically supervised detox can make withdrawal safer and more comfortable.
Withdrawal from alcohol and from benzodiazepines can be dangerous and should not be attempted alone. Detox is the first stage of care, not a complete treatment - most people continue into a residential or outpatient program afterward.

It depends on the substance. Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can cause seizures and other serious complications, so medical supervision is strongly recommended. Talk with a medical professional before stopping.
Detox addresses physical withdrawal but not the underlying causes of addiction. Most people continue with residential or outpatient treatment, counseling and ongoing support.
Hospital inpatient detox is delivered in a hospital with medical staff on site. Residential detox is a non-hospital facility where you stay during withdrawal. Outpatient detox lets you live at home and visit for monitoring and medication.
