Question

detoxification is the process of ______.
a receiving counseling for drug addiction
b using medication to build tolerance to addictive drugs
c managing addictive and self - destructive behavior
d weaning a body from an addictive drug

please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Counseling for drug addiction is part of therapy or rehabilitation, not detoxification. Detoxification focuses on the physical removal of drugs from the body, not just counseling.
• Option B: Building tolerance to addictive drugs is not detoxification. Detoxification aims to reduce or eliminate the presence of the drug in the body, not increase tolerance.
• Option C: Managing addictive and self - destructive behavior is a broader aspect of addiction treatment (like in therapy or support groups) and not the definition of detoxification. Detox is more about the physical process of ridding the body of the drug.
• Option D: Detoxification, in the context of addiction, is the process of weaning the body from an addictive drug, allowing the body to adjust to the absence of the drug and eliminating it from the system.

Answer:

D. weaning a body from an addictive drug
