majority of my patients come to the hospital on a voluntary status to withdraw from a chemical that one is addicted to. We offer a medically supervised detoxification program for the chemically dependent.

The name given to the procedure which has as its aim the excision of all these toxins, chemicals, heavy metals and other substances from the body is "detox," or more formally; detoxification. A lot of people on many occasions draw incorrect conclusions about what detox can do for them.
