About
Drug Detox and Rehab is an independent educational resource. We publish plain-language explainers about substances, addiction, withdrawal, detox, and recovery, drawn from publicly available information published by authoritative health organizations.
What we are: A research and writing team that summarizes information from sources like the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and peer-reviewed medical literature.
What we are not: We are not doctors, clinicians, therapists, or a treatment facility. Nothing on this site is medical advice. Nothing on this site should be used to diagnose, treat, or make decisions about any health condition.
How we research: Every article cites the sources it draws from. We update articles when guidance from authoritative health organizations changes. We do not publish information that we cannot trace to a credible source.
