Question: How does detox help addicts?

I thought detox would make withdraw worse because it gets all the residual drugs out of the system.

It's like going cold turkey, anytime you withdraw from anything it is worse. You've suppose to be heal and clean....

It does make people go through withdraws. That's why there are medications to help with them and ease them off, like methadone.

They're going to have to get the residual drugs out of their system and suffer through withdrawal. Detox helps them do it in a safe, clean, medically supportive environment.
