This can be physically uncomfortable, even dangerous, for the individual. It is best to have the detoxification process supervised by medical personnel who can manage the physical symptoms of withdrawal.

• Is the program 12 Step-based?
• What does the program involve (e.g., group therapy, weekly psychiatric visits)?
• What is the cost?
