Detox vs Rehab

Understanding the difference between detox and rehab, and what support may be needed for recovery.

What We Offer

Detox and rehab are often confused, but they serve different roles in the recovery process.

Detox is the physical process of stopping alcohol or drugs and allowing the body to stabilise.
Structured programmes such as alcohol rehab and drug rehab provide ongoing support.
For some people, detox may be required before entering a structured programme.
Rehab provides structure, guidance, and planning for recovery beyond detox.
Many people benefit from detox followed by structured rehab support.
