Agree.

Detoxification

While recognizing the problem is an important step in addressing drug abuse, it is not necessarily the first step in seeking help. The first step in getting help for drug abuse is usually detoxification. Detoxification involves the process of removing the drugs or substances from the body in a safe and controlled manner. This can be done in a medical facility or under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Detoxification helps individuals safely manage withdrawal symptoms and prepares them for further treatment and rehabilitation. After detoxification, other steps to address drug abuse may include joining a therapeutic community, attending therapy or counseling sessions, participating in support groups, and developing a relapse prevention plan. It is important to seek professional help and guidance throughout the entire process.
