If you’re on a journey of recovery from addiction, you already know it’s about much more than just saying no to substances. It’s about saying yes to a whole new way of life. New outlooks, new passions and new directions, both personally and professionally.

Put simply, detox is the body’s method of clearing out the toxins accumulated from long-term substance use. For friends and family, understanding and supporting this process is critical. It can be daunting to watch someone you love go through detox, but knowing what to expect can make you a pillar of support during this pivotal time.
