What detox means
Detox (withdrawal management) is care while your body clears alcohol or drugs, with staff watching for and treating withdrawal. It's a first step, not treatment on its own: most people go on to residential, PHP, IOP or outpatient care afterward. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care.
A sliding fee is set by your income and other factors. Ask the program what you'd pay a session or a day, and what proof of income to bring.
