Withdrawing (detoxing) from substances like drugs or alcohol may need medical support depending on many factors.

Withdrawal management is team-based care that includes nurses, doctors, and other health-care workers. Teams provide safe, trauma-informed, confidential, non-judgemental, and culturally safe care.
