Question 5

Can I get addiction treatment without telling my employer?

Question 6

What is the difference between detox and rehab?

Accepted Answer

Detox is the medically supervised process of clearing a substance from your body — usually 5–10 days. Rehab is the longer therapeutic programme that follows, addressing the psychological causes of addiction through counselling, group work, and relapse prevention. Detox alone is rarely sufficient for long-term recovery.
