What does DETOX mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
The process of removing toxic or harmful substances from the body, or a period of treatment aimed at overcoming dependence on alcohol or drugs.
A detox can refer to something as simple as a short diet meant to give the digestive system a rest, or to something far more serious, such as a supervised medical program that helps a person safely stop using alcohol or drugs. In the medical sense, a detox often involves managing withdrawal symptoms under professional care, since stopping certain substances suddenly can be dangerous without support. The popular wellness sense of detox, involving juices, teas or special diets, is viewed skeptically by many doctors, who note that the liver and kidneys already perform this function naturally. Despite the debate, detox remains a widely used word in both medical and everyday contexts.
