It is where a person goes who is addicted to drugs to get off the drugs. The person is monitored by medical professionals to make sure they come off the drug safely. For some drugs, such as alcohol, if a person comes off it cold turkey, they get the DT's, or detoxification tremors. It can actually kill them.

To detoxify. Purify. If your on drugs, then detox means to get the drugs out of your system. For me, it's caffeine that I'm addicted to so if I don't have it, I get jittery... that's the beginning of my body getting rid of whatever caffeine is still in my system and it's telling me to get more or I will feel sick. Does that make sense?

Yes, one type refers to drug detox and another to harmful things that have built up in your body and colon over time. There are natural things to help clean them out.
